You’ve done everything right: you’ve booked your dream boat for your cruise in good time and the crew is complete. But who bears the costs if a crew member or you as skipper cancels?
Tip: It’s best to take out extended charter cancellation insurance with a holiday guarantee as soon as you book the charter yacht! It won’t cost you more than dinner on board and protects you and your crew from (cancellation) costs and a lot of hassle!
Please note: The insurance does not cover you if the insured event was already foreseeable for you or the crew member concerned when you took out the insurance. This applies in particular to pre-existing conditions and chronic illnesses.
Benefits:
Worldwide cover – immediately after policy issue up to and including return journey
You have the choice: single cover for one trip or annual cover for all trips within 12 months
Cover for the total cost of the charter and – if desired – also for flight and hotel costs
No deductible, except in the event of incapacity to travel due to outpatient treatment only (20%)
Benefit in the event of skipper or crew cancellation before the trip and in the event of trip cancellation during the trip.
In the event of the skipper’s cancellation, the costs incurred by the skipper and crew will be reimbursed.
In the event of cancellation of a crew member, the pro rata costs for the respective crew member and, if applicable, their companion will be reimbursed
Insured reasons for trip cancellation/cancellation: death, unexpected serious illness, including that of spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law or children-in-law. Vaccination incompatibilities or damage to the insured person’s property and professional/school reasons (e.g. dismissal)
The FAIRWINDS.blue highlight:
The holiday guarantee – if the cruise is cancelled up to halfway through the charter period, we will refund the full charter price (incl. flight, etc.).
